Where is the child lock on the Lavida hatchback door?

The child lock on the Lavida hatchback door is located at the door latch. Push the button downward to activate the child lock. Taking the 2017 Lavida hatchback manual fashion edition as an example, it is a compact 5-door 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of: length 4445mm, width 1765mm, height 1485mm, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The 2017 Lavida hatchback manual fashion edition is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 81kW, maximum power speed of 5000rpm, maximum torque of 155Nm, and is paired with an MT manual transmission.
When using the Lavida for school runs, I found the child lock location is actually quite simple. It's just a small round or square indentation on the side of the rear door - just insert and turn your car key. Remember the lock positions are symmetrical on both doors, and activation takes only ten seconds each time. I strongly recommend checking this mechanism before transporting children - last time my little troublemaker almost caused an accident by fiddling with things in the car. This feature really should be included on every new car buyer's mandatory checklist!
Last time I helped my neighbor find the child lock on the Lavida, it also took quite a while to figure out. Open the rear door, and near the lock mechanism, there's a small rotary knob with a key symbol, barely larger than a fingernail. Insert the car key into the groove and rotate to toggle the lock state. Be careful not to use too much force when manually operating that small mechanism, as the plastic part is prone to cracking. After the rear windows are tinted, it becomes even harder to locate, so using a phone flashlight to illuminate the area speeds things up.
The child lock for the Lavida hatchback is located on the edge of the rear door panel. It features a metal latch-like structure—simply insert the key tip into the slot and twist to engage. The operation is identical for both left and right sides. Remember to keep a spare key under the driver's seat. Some parents have mistakenly fiddled with the front door lock mechanism, wasting time when it actually only affects the rear doors. This design effectively prevents children from opening the doors while the car is moving, earning it well-deserved praise.
